The Island View Inn in Northumberland

Many thanks to Simon, Sarah, and Gang for a fantastic stay. We arrived a little early after a very long drive. Simon let us into our room and gave us a Happy Anniversary balloon 🎈. Which was such a lovely touch. Room 5 was very clean and tidy, and it has everything you could want. I enjoyed a lovely soak in the bath before dinner, which was fabulous 👌... We had drinks in the bar & a lovely meal. Always a bonus when vegetarians are catered for. 😃 The macaroni cheese was yummy. My hubby had gammon, eggs, and chip which he said it was excellent. Lots of choice on the menu and such a great atmosphere. We slept really well and had a wonderful breakfast before leaving. Lots of choices, cereals, juice toast, and a cooked breakfast. All served piping hot & cooked to perfection. We can't thank you enough for your making us feel so welcome ☺️

This was our second stay at Island View, and once again, Simon and Sarah did not disappoint. Our group of nine was in town for an event, and their hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. Simon and Sarah's welcoming nature made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and well-appointed, providing a perfect retreat after a busy day. The attention to detail and personalised service truly set Island View apart. Whether it was accommodating special requests or providing helpful local tips, nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you, Simon and Sarah, for another fantastic stay. We look forward to our next visit! Until the next time...

I stayed at the Island View for one night as I was at a wedding nearby the next day. Simon, Sarah and his team were so lovely. Simon went out of his way to make sure I wasn't moving from one room to another as I was booked for two nights but in different rooms. He accommodated me to the one room for both nights even though I had to leave early and never got to stay the 2nd night. The room was clean, coffee and Tea facilities were great. My room was number 8 and it is very spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Thanks for a lovely stay. Gemma.

Just spent two nights in this gem of a B&B, made very welcome on arrival by owner Simon, our room was very clean, nicely decorated (loved the wallpaper). Both Simon and his wife Sarah ensured we had everything we needed, nothing was a problem. Really good breakfasts and we ate in the restaurant on our second night the meal was excellent. Well situated for visiting many of the attractions in and around Berwick. Will definitely be back, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family. Thanks again Simon and Sarah.

Spent three nights at this wonderful guest house. Lovely room with views over a huge field where the hares kept us entertained with their antics. Host and his family could not have made us more welcome. The breakfasts were great and we ate in the restaurant each evening where the meals were very tasty and good value.

We stayed I room 8 as a nice break away, lovely and clean, very friendly, Simon and Sarah very welcoming, Simon came to our room to ensure we were happy and if we needed anything give him a shout.the restart and bar very clean and modern breakfast lovely. We'll done Sarah and we we defo be back hopefully with the dog.

My husband and I had a lovely couple of nights in the cottage. Inside is clean, nicely decorated and well-equipped for a longer, self-catering stay with family or friends. Although situated by the road, we didn't find traffic noise bothersome. The proprietors were friendly and helpful - provided us with a tasty vegetarian cooked breakfast. We look forward to a future stay.

Appear to be closed more than they're open, never open when i call. i would not recommend, headed further on for food and drink.

Had a lovely stay. Great location, rooms nice and clean, staff very nice, the Island view was ideal for what we wanted.

We visited here on a Saturday night and had a lovely time. The owners are so friendly and the all staff make you feel so welcome and go above and beyond to offer a brilliant service. The food was homemade and tasty and very reasonably priced. We will certainly return.

Returning visit .we were left very disappointed my wife and our four kids went in for an evening meal.me an my wife had a starter which was good I nad the mac and cheese bites and my wife had the breaded mushrooms. Its is where it went down hill I had the fish which was £10.95 which is reasonable however it was a 1 bit of frozen fish which had been over done the rest of the family had macaroni cheese which was very anemic and if I'm honest looked like it was out of a packet .After paying the bill the woman who served us said that they don't normally do food Monday to Wednesday and I wish they had just told us that I have have been bedded from Tuesday night till the now which has wasted two days of our holiday as well as the rest of the family suffering as well but not to the same extent. This is a dramatic change from the last time and its safe to say we will not be back

Room was clean and comfortable, but overall the decor is tired. Overpriced, no toiletries other than two tiny bars of soap. Wifi unusable.

My husband and I have just spent 3 nights at The Island view and we cannot recommend this place enough. The new owners and staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at ease from the moment you arrive ( a real home from home feel). The island view is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and perfectly situated for the many beautiful beaches, castles and historic landmarks ( we even managed to squeeze in a day trip to Edinburgh). The view from our room was absolutely beautiful! So much so, I didn’t want to leave. A big thank you to all involved in making us feel so welcome and ensuring our stay at The island view was perfect. Donna & Gary Liverpool

The island view is a hidden gem set not too far from the Scottish Borders - the breakfast offered by the team was delicious and nothing was too hard work for the staff. Over a few nights, I was lucky enough to meet all the staff and learnt it is a family business! Molly, Jackie, Megan and Annie were on the bar over the weekend and were very nice and I was able to have a good laugh with them. Sarah, Simon and Danni were serving breakfast and dinner and they were excellent hospitality staff. The room was a great size, and had an ensuite - I had a great few nights stay and will be staying again when I come up in the future! Thank you team!

Spent two very comfortable nights here. Simon and the team were very welcoming and couldn’t have done more for us. Food and drink were excellent and we really enjoyed the quiz night! We will be back!

We had good, home cooked food at a reasonable price. However the welcome we received was outstanding. Friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate. Highly recommend.

My wife and I have always loved the Northumberland coast line. We researched places to stay near Holy Island and found 'The Island View'. Having never stayed here we were unsure what to expect. However, we recieved such a warm welcome from the staff when checking in, it was like we were long lost family. The room was spacious, clean and excellent value for what we paid, with views overlooking the sweeping Northumberland hills. We ate on the evening in the bar and restaurant. My wife had the lasagne, I had the steak pie. Both meals were very tasty, warm and excellent value for what we paid. We struck up conversation with a couple who we eventually found out to be the owners, apparently they have just taken over. You can see and feel the passion they have for the place from speaking with them. We will definitely be back. Thank you Island View.

One of the best take aways in berwick.super friendly staff and food is always delicious and piping hot.delivery driver is a top bloke.best pizza's in town bar none 10/10 😀👌

Very disappointing. No heating in the room, toilet would not flush, curtain hanging off the wall, black mould in the bathroom, the shower had no control over hot and cold, only fast food available for evening meal, one teabag in the room for 3 night stay, toast without any butter for breakfast, no milk in the bedroom and when we asked we were given milk in a teapot! I could go on. Very overpriced for what we got.

We stayed here for just one night but I wish it could have been more. The food and atmosphere is brilliant The landlord (Bruce) is a top bloke and made us feel very welcome, as did all the staff. I look forward to my next visit

Just south of Berwick on the A1. Fantastic Pizza delivered with chips and kebab meat. Very tasty, and piping hot delivered. Probably the best pizza this side of Milan. Would highly reccommend to anyone staying in the area.

Staying at a nearby caravan park . Wanted a takeaway. Found this place on Google and what a little hidden gem. Chips were really good steak pie was amazing. My partner loved his fish supper. Food was piping hot when it came and well packaged . Fast delivery . Friendly driver and good food. Thanks guys

Would just like to thank the staff at the Island view for alloying us to change the time for our Christmas lunch we travelled from Sunderland but could only stay on the caravan site for a few hours the food was amazing all 5 courses were delicious would highly recommend a visit when we all can get back to some normality.Thanks again Merry ChristmasDavid.

We were staying at nearby Paxton House camping and were looking to order pizza...after a Google search we came across The Island View Inn, who provide a delivery service. Spoke to a very friendly chap on the phone and ordered 3 pizzas.. nothing too much trouble.. and for just over £20 very reasonable. Within just over half an hour, pizzas arrived, piping hot, and delicious. Toppings were very generous.. just lovely. We will defo order again when we come back to Paxton.

Just wanted to say, we have had a few takeaway deliveries from here and the service and food is amazing.... by far the best in the town! The chips are to die for, pizzas are fantastic, homemade onion ring and battered mushroom cooked in an amazing golden crisp batter. Food is always delivered on time and piping hot. The guys here can’t do enough for you. Just ordered two Sunday lunches and can’t wait to try them! 5* , highly recommend you give it a go if you haven’t already !

Still here at the moment .comfortable room with lovely on suite. Great food although keep having to leave some as portions too large.location is on the great North Road but from room you can't hear the traffic. Thanks to you all for making us welcome through these trying times. We would come here again no problem

What a great find the Island View Inn was. Staff are all friendly and very welcoming. The accommodation is clean and comfortable. The food is fresh, tasty and plentiful. Overall excellent value for money. We would highly recommend this place for a short stay.

Had a delivery this evening to pot a doodle doo, lovely pizza and great value and bang on time, highly recommend

Had a very pleasant stay on 16 th August 2020 was a half way meet to meet my son for the first time since lockdown was greeted by the funny scotch owner was made to feel very welcome rooms were very clean all the staff throughout the stay were fantastic we went out and about in the day to great beach but came back for tea and few drinks in the evening the food was lovely think we left so much cos the portions were enormous will definatly stay again we took our dogs with us and they were welcomed too thankyou

We came for Sunday lunch with our family the food was amazing We can’t thank the owners Enough for making us all so welcome and this will now be our regular for eating and drinking loads of parking and lovely fires burning to keep you cosy on a cold day and the views are spectacular and easy access from the A1 you have to visit this little gem thank you again.

I have to say we had the best Sunday lunch out in a very long time. Everything was cooked fresh, especially the generous Yorkshire pud, the sweets were devine and the atmosphere was wonderful. I would and have already recommended this gem of a hotel to friends. Its easy to find as it is visible from the A1, with ample parking.

The staff were incredibly welcoming to us and our dogs, including checking on our meal half way through dinner.3 very happy sunday roast diners (including one child) and i was amazed at being offered 3 vegan options! An unexpected and wonderful surprise.Thank you Island View for making all of us feel welcome.

My wife and I called in at short notice for a steak meal. The staff were very friendly, the meal was served promptly and the quality was great. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

Our first visit in two years because of a recommendation and we were not disappointed the lunch was excellent as was the service, very good value will most certainly be back. Many thanks for fitting us in as we had not booked

Took advantage of the Saturday night steak deal which was two sirloin steaks and two drinks for a total of £23. The steaks were presented on sizzling plates and tasted as good as they smelled! Excellent food and great value for money.

What a lovely place - food was fantastic and the staff were welcoming and attentive- would definitely stay again.

We were staying nearby and recommended to try this place for an evening meal. Advised to book as it is very popular.We were not disappointed, great food. It was dark when we visited but you really can see Holy Island. Don't miss out on this place.

We decided to eat here to take advantage of the Early Bird offer.The special menu was limited, as would be expected, but adequate The staff were pleasant and welcoming However we were told our meals were ready and directed to our table.45 minutes our meals arrived and it looked as if everyone else on the 3 occupied tables had been waiting ages as well.The meals were well cooked but basic. It was like good homemade food cooked to order, which was a good point , despite the wait.

Popped in tonight (10/09/19) for a bite to eat as didn't fancy the places at haggerston castle. Both staff serving were excellent and very polite. Manager (I assume) was also very friendly when he passed through.Food was good although my wife could only manage half the chicken goujons as there were so many! Very tasty, very good service and very cheap. As others have mentioned - the black pudding and Haggis starter was incredible.

Just spent 4 days at Haggerson Castle And like everyone else It's a Disgrace the amount of Extra charges on site!!! Myself and my family went out every day / night for lunch and dinner and on the second night came across this gem It was £10 for a Three course early bird menu served till 6 And I must say it was up there with the best I had anywhere else!! More than that Kids under 12 Eat Free!!! But even if they Didn't I have to say This place is a must visit!! Very friendly and quality home baking One thing guys a wee bit background music for a bit of atmosphere Not a complaint by any nature As I have stated Excellent Food Excellent service First class guys will definitely recommend to anyone who wants to ask

1 night stop off en route to Edinburgh. Lovely staff, good room for a family, clean crisp bedlinen... (very very important to me) plenty of hot water, good breakfast, cheap evening tipple!. The guys running it were helpful and funny.

Just by the A1 we found this little gem of a restaurant. They managed to fit us in as it was nearly fully booked. The Sunday roast was the best we have tasted in a restaurant in a long time. We were so impressed we returned a couple of days later for our last meal of out holidays and again we were not disappointed. The curry Was outstanding and the fish and chips were lovely. Well done folks we will be back when we return to Northumberland

Very tired peeling decor in ensuite. Not very powerful shower. Not particularly clean. Cold room. One large towel not clean and could not be used. Table in dining room sticky and dogs allowed on dining chairs in restaurant. Stairs to room and adjoining wall not clean. Constant road noise. Think my expectations were too high based on the previous reviews. Staff very friendly though.

Small friendly pub with lovely food, the roast dinners were tasty, large portions and great cheesecake. Good service at reasonable prices. Dog friendly.

situated between main berwick roundabout and haggerston this is not to be missed,good prices,2 meals and two drinks for under £20,quality food,good service from a very friendly family staff,and best of all "dog friendly !"check it out m&a; and lucy the whippet!

Excellent two night stay for both my relatives. First class food and service. Would definitely stay again.

We came across this looking to stay close to Lindisfarne and could not have had a better time. A family run business, the staff were incredible. Breakfast was amazing, and the homemade pies were as good as we've ever eaten. Definitely recommend grabbing a pint and feed, the locals were also very friendly and good for a chat. Would stay again happily.

We decided to try the Island View Inn after passing it several times and being tempted by their '3 courses for £10'. We were not disappointed, the service was excellent, welcoming,friendly and efficient. The food was outstanding, we both had the black pudding and haggis starter which wouldn't have been out of place in a fine dining restaurant, followed by lasange served with salad and garlic bread. All beautifully presented on very hot plates. We finished off with strudle and ice cream again delicious. With two J20's the bill came to £23.40, amazing value considering the quality of the food and service. The chef and front of house staff should be very proud of what you all achieve here.On the way out we booked a table for the last night of our holiday, say no more.

Discovered this when driving passed - 3 courses 2 drinks for 2 of us £25 -Sunday lunch was amazing had lamb with a big plate full of food the staff are all very friendly and hard working the only thing is it’s a little dated in places but the staff and food makes up for it we will definitely be back I suggest you book on a Sunday

Stopped off here on a Wednesday night and we were pleased we did. It was very quiet which can be a worrying sign but in this case it wasn't. We both had the chicken in a creamy sauce (can't remember its name) with proper home made chips and veg. Both our plates were cleared and if like us you have room for a dessert, then be prepared they are large but again we managed to eat them and were feeling stuffed by the end of it.

Called here for a drink one teatime, looked at the menu and decided to return to eat the following day.

We pulled in here looking for an overnight stay on route to Scotland and got a room with a super king bed (beautiful linen and bedding) with a shower en-suite and separate small room with bunks for the kids. Look it’s outdated and in need of a little tlc and handyman work but totally comfortable and acceptable (and we are fussy!)

Went here tonight for dinner with my wife and daughter. We had the black pudding and haggis stack and the deap fried mushrooms, which were very tasty. For mains we had the breaded fish, lovely crisp batter and perfectly cooked fish and the steak and ale pie, which was cooked to order and the steak was so tender, our daughter had the chicken coujons all served with home made chips, which were great as most places it's frozen chips that are served up. For pudding we had the cheesecake and the meringue and strawberry nest which were both amazing. And to top it off our daughter ate free. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Arrived at the Island View for evening meal , say 5.45, think it stopped serving meals at 6.00pm- not a problem to the friendly barman , each having good mushroom soup followed by a main dish of fish and chips. There was not another soul in the restaurant when we arrived, a couple turned up just after us.

Spotted this restaurant on our way to haggerston Castle we decided to try it on Thursday night an we were not disappointed went in about ten minutes before the restaurant opened the asked the member of staff if we could go through he said yes that's fine we took our seats and he came and gave us our menu's and took a drinks order. They have a early special on between 4-6 3 course for £10 and if you order a meal you get a kids meal with juice and an ice cream free. A big plus was everything was freshly made was advised the the lasagne would be about half an hour as the chef was still cooking it. The food was 10 out of ten and the service was excellent and value for money was excellent we had 2x 3 course and 2 kids meal's and 2 pints of coke for £23.60 only wish we had tried it earlier in the week we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area

There were a few negative reviews when we initially looked at this place, but assumed it would be fine and we really just needed a spot to sleep. Ignore the bad reviews. Ignore those and just stay here!

We had our son home for holiday ,went on sunday for carvery it was good value for money they did look after the kids well ,the staff where helpful ,made sure we where happy and all was ok ,the place was bright and clean ,toilets where good also ,if they keep this up this place will do well ,one small thing please make sure the meals come out hot ,loads of parking ,so if passing go give this place a try we will return for another meal keep up the good work people

Enjoyed a bank holiday weekend here, with family in other rooms. Clean, good food and excellent service, topped by the super friendly staff who have made things fun and made us feel so welcome. Nothing too much trouble, and helpful on every occasion.

Was holidaying at Haggerston castle and this great little restaurant is about 10 mins away, great food, great staff will defo be back in September. 4 stars

Five of us arrived very tired and hungry after a long drive and just needed some well earned sustenance.

Decided to stop here and have sunday lunch,first class food at a very reasonable price,friendly staff and good service,couldn't fault it. A++++++++++++

Superb cuisine with huge helpings at very, very reasonable prices to suit every budget. Lovely pleasant, helpful and friendly staff. Five Star all the way.

what a lovely little find just up from our new favourite beach (cheswick)

Fed a family of four for Sunday lunch and paid with a contactless card!!! The food was fairly basic and unexciting but nothing wrong with it. Roast potatoes were very good and worthy of special mention.

Stopped in today for lunch and was very impressed by the quality and value. I almost never have 3 courses but the food was so tasty that I had to order dessert and for £10 for all 3 with homemade pate, scampi and homemade syrup sponge cake for dessert it was incredible value. The drinks prices were very reasonable as well. Heard one of the locals call the waiter Stephen, he was very friendly and polite. Nice atmosphere. We will definitely return when passing by and wish we lived closer.

We arrived here at home 9pm on a Friday evening after our planned accommodation double booked us. The owner made us very welcome from the start, giving us the choice of 2 rooms, explaining that the others were being refurbished due to him recently being the owner. The rooms were basic but spotlessly clean with white sheets and towels. At breakfast we were offered a choice of cooked or cereal breakfast which was nice, including plenty of tea and coffee. Overall, a comfy stay, despite the cost of £80, which I felt was a little overpriced for the type of accommodation.

Odd tides this week for the island so had 2 choices - up at stupid o'clock to come down or stay locally and get up at a reasonable hour and arrive breakfasted and refreshed. I did the latter. The kitchen was being refurbished so no evening meal, but I wanted a few things in Berwick plus fuel so ate there. Room warm AND a bath. I was so pleased about a bath I had a good hours soak in it. Bed comfy, nice and firm with a blanket as well. Great for people like me who feel the cold. Hot bath and into bed. I slept surprisingly well as I'm usually up a few times in the night. Breakfast was available - full English if I wished but I plumped for bacon and haggis as I have a severely reduced appetite. No cereal or toast for me though the offer was there. Left at a comfortable hour and was on the island 12 minutes later!!

We visited as a party of 6 on Saturday night . The food was excellent and the staff were very pleasant.nothing was a problem to them .we will definitely be back the next time in the area

Amazing Sunday afternoon feed for all the family(8) The food was lovely and not one of us could fault it Staff were all lovely and helpful Thank you to you all

We gave this place another chance after visiting it a couple of years ago and had been very disappointed.

Myself and my young children visited here recentley, we popped in for a meal and had a split experience. We were served by a pleasant and helpful waiter, who was especially good with the children. However our meals were brought to us by a different waiter, who after serving us and going behind the bar proceeded to use inappropriate langauge, along with the lady working in the kitchen, well within earshot of myself and other diners. We also heard her repromanding our first waiter. We were trying to enjoy our food, which was of good quality, and well priced. I feel the unproffesionalism of the staff (bar the first waiter) spoiled our visit, therefore i would think twice about returning. Certain members of staff are letting a lovely country pub down!

My family and I decided to eat here during our stay at Haggerston Castle. I was very impressed with the food and the service. Would definitely recommend!

Room 9 & 10 - stayed on 30th June & 8th July. Both rooms were very basic. No soap provided in bathroom (a micro tube of shampoo is not soap). Very noisy from road traffic, even with window shut, we could hear other guests conversations in room to the side, and guests walking over the creaky floor above the rooms. The tv had almost no signal and the legally required smoke alarm was non-functional. Needs complete redecorating and some home comforts.

Stayed here for a couple of nights while we had a trip out to Holy Island and Northumberland. It's a good little inn to basically crawl back to after a long day sightseeing. Yes it is basic no frills but rooms are big clean with ensuite and a comfortable bed you just sleep in. The staff were friendly and very informative on places to visit etc. Breakfast was great lots to choose from and set us up for the days activities.Good value for money.

My husband I stayed overnight to visit a few castles.We received a warm welcome and shown to our room which was quite spacious.We had a drink in the bar and enjoyed some humorous banter between the owners son and a few locals!We dined in the restaurant.the food was tasty and plentiful and value for money.We will definately pop in again!

The rooms are very good and very clean with large shower. The food is excellent, and a nice home style food. We had the curry and a cottage pie, which were very nice and filling. The staff are brilliant, very helpful and extremely polite. Couldn't do enough for us.

This is for the Island View resteraunt. Meal for 4 people.

Had a meal there, the food was good very friendly staff but the place could do with an upgrade. Don’t know if the staff were new but seemed a tad nervous, we sat by the fire and all you could here were birds or chicks in the chimney and it could do with a lick of paint and maybe some background music. But all in all not a bad little place.

Ŵe made a last minute booking at the island view inn for a family room. We received a wonderful warm welcome from the owner who couldn't have been more helpful.

Had a roast lamb Sunday lunch, very well cooked and served. competitively priced. What more can one ask?.

Stopped here on the off chance of having dinner, we were greeted by a really friendly member of the team who put a table together to seat 7 of us. We had Steak and Ale Pie, Roast Beef Dinner, Hunters Chicken and Chicken Goujons for our toddler! The food was amazing and the views were wonderful, we were made to feel really welcome and would recommend you stop by for something to eat.

While out for a drive with my friend from Carlisle we headed for Etal as there was a pub we wanted to see, only to find it boarded up. I then suggested we try the pub that used to be the "CAT".

Called in here for a meal (wife away,couldn't be bothered to cook) i was greeted with a very warm welcome, i chose a steak with all the trimmings and the steak was cooked exactly how i wanted it,couldn't fault the meal, the staff and the friendly atmosphere and i will call again. Thank you all.

Had a pleasant experience staying here. Staff were very welcoming and extremely pleasant and helpful. Our room had great views over to Lindisfarne and beyond. It was clean spacious and very comfortable. On our arrival on the Saturday we had a light lunch of Loaded Potato Skins and a side order of Onion rings. A most enjoyable and very tasty lunch experience. In the morning we were greated in the restaurant for breakfast and were served a well cooked hearty full English. The high quality of the ingredients was evident and it was cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We tried this bar and restaurant for the first time and had a very pleasant bar meal. They do casual foods including jacket potatoes and sandwiches and have a menu with a reasonable range of main dishes. Vegetarians can find a meal here (macaroni cheese on the menu) though more choice would be good. My jacket potato was good value with a cheese topping. The bar is small but cosy and there is a larger restaurant area. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a very convenient place on the A1 to stop for a meal and they have accommodation too.

Visited at the weekend just gone, had been informed that there was new management so we were a little hesitant as it had just been taken over and there was going to be issues on the A1 just a little after our arrival. Glad we went, because the food was absolutely delicious!

Arrived this evening to a lovely lady serving behind the bar who made us feel really welcome !! I’d booked through booking .com and made sure there was a breakfast included but was informed this wasn’t actually included in the price !! I had evidence on my phone to prove it though !! Room very warm and clean but bed held together with nails !!! And towel rail hanging off, owner obviously doesn’t care which is a shame as other staff do care , not worth it !!

Arrived late and welcomed in the bar by a lovely lady. Advised where room 9 was, but found it difficult to find as there are no lights at the back of the hotel.

Wanted a quick stop over whilst visiting Lindisfarne and Berwick. Found this hotel available - family room, en suite shower...

we visit Northumberland quite a bit so having read the reviews of this place we thought we'd bag a bargain...

This place was so convenient, being on the A1 (though we didn't notice the traffic noise at night). Our room...

Went here 3 nights whilst on holiday, the staff are really friendly and make you so welcome. The ales are...

Absolutely lovely little place,room was excellent ,view was stunning ,no noise from A1 ,even though you r right on it...

Lovely welcome and really pleasant lady serving. Hearty portions and great tasting beef and gravy. Big selection of vegetables slightly...

Warm and welcoming from the start. Food lovely and resonably priced.. huge portions. Bar vibrant andvused by locals too. Refreshing views of fields and sea. Highly reccommended.

Arrived at 5oclock on a Sunday, on arrival we were told it was only Sunday roasts. A choice of 4 meats with smaller portions for kids. We had quite a long wait but was it worth it. The portion sizes were enormous, well cooked veg, lovely lean meat and a super Yorkshire pud. Even the kids ate their veg. We all decided on a sweet and they were delicious. Prices were really reasonable. It was so good we went back later in the week. Good idea to book as we did as it gets busy later on

Principal reason for the visit was to stay 2 nights, so the restaurant was more incidental. Limited choice, but the helpings of chips were enormous. Unless you have a belly to fill, it is probably best to 'mix and match' items off the menu to cater for a more modest appetite. Drinks choices are also limited, but the prices are reasonable.

Just spent a couple of days at the Island view inn. Great location. Staff very friendly and rooms comfortable. Would recommend.

Nice setting,friendly staff but my food was pretty much inedible. I did get a couple of pounds knocked off but food really shouldn't be served like that. Wouldn't recommend and wont visit again

Popped into the Island view whilst visiting the area. Never again.I try to write positive and factual reviews but the food was just awful.My wife had the Chilli and rice which was as dry as sticks and basically mince with a sprinkling of chilli powder on. My steak was cooked as I asked (well done) but was very bland and the accompanying chips were only partially cooked-hard on the inside.Other patrons commented on their meals as they arrived also.The menu is nothing like they have ob the website. It's the only place I have come home hungrier than I went out.Sorry but will not be visiting again.
